Point-of-Care Biomedical Engineering Equipment Management System
Abstract BackgroundMedical devices and equipment play an important role in the modern medical service. It is necessary to integrate the relevant information in order to effectively manage all the equipment into a biomedical engineering equipment management system (BEEMS). Aims: To report our experience and satisfactory from the users of a BEEMS.MethodWe combine a central core module with intra-net and a mobile device application with internet to become a real-time BEEMS. With the combination of these two modules, the point-of-care software system become real-time and mobile for all users in the hospital. We conduct a survey about satisfactory from the users after more than one-year implementation of this system. ResultsAfter the application more than one year, only 7% users show unsatisfactory about the BEEMS. We also find this real-time and point-of-care BEEMS has high satisfactory and is especial helpful for the management staff in hospital. ConclusionA real-time BEEMS has high satisfactory and is helpful for the staff in hospital.Relevance to clinical practiceA real-time biomedical engineering equipment management system is helpful to effectively manage all the equipment in hospital.
